Water World Beast Taming: My Pets Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 148 Peerless Body Refining Genius (6000 words)

After leaving Jian Qingqiu, Jiang Chen did not go to the [Sea of ​​Spiritual Power] secret realm, but went straight to the [Crimson Tide Warm Current]!

That's right, Jiang Chen decided to complete the third level of body tempering, "Yi Jin," before going to the [Sea of ​​Spiritual Power] secret realm.

Once the Yi Jin Jing is completed, Jiang Chen's meridians will be widened and unblocked, at which point the effect of absorbing spiritual energy will double.

Under such circumstances, cultivating in the Sea of ​​Spiritual Power will be twice as effective and yield the best results!

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel envious of Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu has cultivated the "Whale Breath Meditation Technique". After the skill proficiency was raised to the mastery level, Xiao Jiu's efficiency in absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is now three times that of other pets!

Jiang Chen was extremely envious of this. Why didn't he have a similar cultivation technique?

Why is it that even though he has extracted so many skills, the "Illustrated Compendium of Marine Creatures" cannot convert them into techniques that he can use?

What is the most crucial reason behind this?

Jiang Chen was running when he suddenly stopped!

No, he needs to figure this out!

Jiang Chen twisted his feet and turned to walk towards the school's logistics area. He decided to buy various types of sea beast blood essence to test. He had to figure out why some sea beast skills could be transformed into cultivation techniques for humans, and why others could not.

This issue is absolutely crucial right now!

Whether it's the upcoming closed-door cultivation or the spiritual martial arts techniques to be learned later, this issue must be understood and clarified!

Jiang Chen quickly ran to the school's logistics area, and with a wave of his hand, he directly purchased hundreds of kinds of sea beast blood essence, spending nearly ten million!

He now has 7 million, so he doesn't even care about 1 million anymore.

As for why not find a busty loli?

We just got 7 million from them, isn't this rubbing salt into their wounds? Let them calm down first...

Given Yan Mengmeng's greedy nature, she will probably come back to him again later.

Yan Mengmeng will definitely be resentful and anxious if she doesn't earn back that 7 million.

Having obtained the essence blood of over a hundred kinds of sea beasts, Jiang Chen quickly returned to the basement of his dormitory and began studying it behind closed doors.

"Extraction of the essence blood of the Great Sword Mantis..."

"Extraction of Centipede Essence Blood..."

"Extraction of Dark-ringed Python Blood Essence..."

Drop after drop of essence blood dripped into the little yellow book, causing it to shimmer with golden light, and one illustration page after another was illuminated.

Jiang Chen tried using each one, either extracting it into Xiao Jiu and Chu Yun, or into himself, recording the extraction and transfer effects of each type of sea beast blood in his notebook.

After nearly a full day of trying, Jiang Chen had a slight understanding of the extraction and transfer rules of the "Illustrated Compendium of Marine Creatures".

The first rule is quite simple: generally only sea beast skills of the same attribute can be successfully extracted and transferred.

For example, if Xiao Jiu is a water-attribute, metal-attribute sea beast, then the skills of fire-attribute sea beasts cannot be extracted and transferred.

Second: The two types of pets need to have roughly the same or similar organs and tissues.

Xiao Jiu and Chu Yun are both water-type pets, but Xiao Jiu's Explosive Claw skill cannot be transferred to Chu Yun because Chu Yun is a jellyfish and does not have claws.

Similarly, Xiao Jiu couldn't learn the tentacle whipping and jellyfish venom skills of the Turritopsis dohrnii.

Xiao Jiu has no tentacles and no toxins in her body, so naturally she cannot learn these two skills.

The patterns between pets are relatively easy to figure out, but whether sea beast skills can be transformed into human cultivation techniques is rather simple and mysterious, and extremely difficult!

Jiang Chen spent a day and a night studying in the basement, trying out all the blood essences of hundreds of sea beasts on the little yellow book, but still couldn't find a skill that could be converted into a human cultivation technique.

Jiang Chen was extremely puzzled. What exactly was the rule for converting this skill into a technique?

Driven by a stubborn determination, Jiang Chen ran to the school's logistics area again, looking as if he wouldn't give up until he figured it out.

Jiang Chen spent nearly ten million yuan this time to purchase nearly three hundred different kinds of sea beast blood essence, and continued his crazy experiments with great enthusiasm.

Hard work pays off. After three days and three nights of seclusion, Jiang Chen finally achieved some results!

The illustrated guide to marine creatures began to glow, and when Jiang Chen pointed his index finger at the entry for "Water Roar" on the guide, the long-awaited notification finally appeared!

"This technique can be used on pets or by the beast tamer himself."

Jiang Chen looked at the encyclopedia with excitement, but was slightly taken aback when he saw that the owner of the Water Roar skill was a sea beast called "Water Demon"!

Jiang Chen looked at the water demon sea beast in front of him with a strange expression, because this kind of sea beast was evolved from a land creature over thousands of years.

That's right, the ancestor of the water demon is the mandrill, the largest monkey primate in the world!

A thousand years ago, China sank. Not only did humans evolve the back of their ears and cheeks to adapt to the aquatic environment, but some other creatures also evolved under the influence of spiritual power.

For example, freshwater creatures from thousands of years ago almost all evolved organs that could adapt to saline water.

Those that failed to adapt have long since perished.

The mandrill, the world's largest monkey primate, is most notable for its brightly colored facial markings that resemble ghosts, hence its other name, the ghost baboon.

Over thousands of years of evolution, these water goblins have successfully adapted to underwater life, hence they are also known as water monkeys or water ghosts.

A real water monkey.

Jiang Chen looked at the water ape in front of him with a strange expression, because humans are also primates!

Jiang Chen felt as if he had grasped something, and quickly dripped the essence blood of several other primate marine beasts into the "Illustrated Compendium of Marine Creatures".

This result surprised and delighted him.

The Water Gorilla's heavy punch skill can be converted into a magic attack.

The water spectacled monkey's super vision can be converted into a magic spell.

The water gibbon's long-arm punch skill can be converted into a power.

According to the "Illustrated Compendium of Marine Creatures," humans, water goblins, and water gorillas are all the same kind of creature...

After Jiang Chen dripped in another drop of "Ghost Ape" sea beast blood, Ghost Monkey's "Etherealization" skill could no longer be converted into a magic spell.

Indeed, even among primates, the most basic rules of extraction and transfer must be followed.

Although the goblin is a branch of the water goblin, this sea beast has taken a different path in the course of thousands of years of evolution.

The Water Demon is a water-type sea monster, but the Ghost Demon is a necromancer-type sea monster, so the Ghost Demon's skills cannot be extracted or transferred.

Jiang Chen frowned and flipped through the "Illustrated Compendium of Marine Creatures" again, turning to the illustration of the "Blue-armored Copper-headed Fish".

He tapped the "Azure Armor Copperhead Fish's" skill [Azure Armor Body Forging] with his right index finger, and it showed that the conversion was successful.

That's right, the Blue-armored Copperhead Fish is one of the three Iron-headed Brothers.

The three lovable brothers: Flowerhorn fish, Green Armored Bronzehead fish, and Golden Protruding-Earthhead fish.

Flowerhorn fish have a large forehead bead on their head, hence the nickname "Iron-headed Baby".

The Blue-armored Copperhead Fish is covered in blue armor and has a flat, long head, hence it is also known as the "Stupid Blue".

The Golden Bumphead Wrasse is covered in golden scales, the thickest and hardest of the three, resembling a diamond, hence its other name, the Diamond Wrasse.

It also has a golden bead on its forehead, and because its face resembles a goose's face, it is also called the Silly Goose Fish.

Jiang Chen stared at the erotic book in deep thought, realizing something was amiss!

If we follow the previous reasoning that skills of the same attribute and species can be extracted and transformed into human cultivation techniques, then why can the body tempering skills of the three Iron-Hearted Brothers be transformed into cultivation techniques?

From another perspective, why is it that out of the three Iron-Hearted Brothers' many skills, only the Body Tempering skill can be converted, while the other skills cannot?

The body-forging skills of the three Iron-Hearted Brothers must share some common core with primates, which is why they were able to extract and successfully transform them!

Jiang Chen went through his thought process again, and after confirming that he still couldn't find the answer, he dialed Jiang Henian's communication shell. After confirming that the other party was in the Biyue Bamboo Forest, he went to the bathroom to wash up first, and then rushed towards Jiang Henian!

Jiang Chen has one last chance to solve the mystery: to find out from Jiang Henian how the other party successfully converted the sea beast's skills into magic!

That's right, this approach is more likely to lead to success!

It should be noted that although the number of cultivation techniques successfully developed and created within the Martial God Hall that can be used by humans is not large, it is still quite substantial!

There are dozens of martial arts techniques!

Moreover, it is obvious that these techniques all come from different sea beasts. If we follow the extraction and conversion rules of the Little Yellow Book, it is clear that these sea beast skills cannot be converted into techniques.

So the question is, how did these body-refining seniors manage to do it?

This is a very valuable clue!

Jiang Chen had a premonition that once this step was revealed, he would know the ultimate rule of how the Little Yellow Book transformed skills into techniques!

……

Green waters and bamboo groves, quiet and elegant bamboo houses.

Jiang Henian, unusually, did not cultivate today. Instead, he sat quietly in the bamboo hall of the Martial God Hall, where a seashell of light and shadow was continuously playing a video of a sea beast in front of him.

Jiang Henian watched intently for a while, when a series of footsteps came from outside. It was a tall, handsome young man, Jiang Chen.

"Principal, I have a question for you!" Jiang Chen asked directly as soon as he saw Jiang Henian.

"What you want to ask is how to convert sea beast skills into human cultivation techniques, right? You've already explained it in your communication shell."

Jiang Henian said calmly, "I'm just about to optimize a cultivation technique. Please sit down and watch the video in front of you."

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up: "Okay."

Jiang Chen looked at the luminous seashell in front of him and saw that it was indeed the Luohan Fish Sea Beast.

The opponent was constantly using the huge forehead bead on its head and the fish scale armor on its body to ram against the sea cliffs and mountain walls, making loud thuds and filling the air with dust.

Jiang Chen was a little puzzled at first, but after observing carefully for a while, he immediately discovered that every time the Luohan fish made a collision, a spiritual light would flash on its body!

Jiang Chen suddenly realized something: "Principal, this is the [Arhat Body Tempering] skill!"

"That's right," Jiang Henian nodded, "The most widely circulated 'Body Tempering Technique' in the Dragon Kingdom is actually an improvement and creation of the Luohan Body Tempering Skill of the Luohan Fish."

"Didn't you want to know how sea beast skills evolved and were modified into cultivation techniques suitable for humans?"

"I'll explain it to you in detail now."

"yes!"

Jiang Chen's expression immediately became extremely serious, and he listened attentively.

Jiang Henian slowly said, "First, we need to understand the casting principles of sea beast skills..."

Jiang Chen quickly opened the door to a new world!

First of all, all skills are the result of different effects produced by the different ways in which spiritual energy circulates in different meridians and acupoints!

For example, the Luohan fish in front of us has the skill of "Luohan Body Tempering". The Luohan fish transports spiritual energy through different meridians and acupoints, and then uses external force to strike it, which finally produces the effect of body tempering.

You should know that the power circulating within the Flowerhorn Fish is spiritual energy, and humans also use spiritual energy!

Could we imitate the cat and create a body-strengthening technique suitable for humans?

That's right, that's how the first body refiner was born!

However, once the principle was understood, a huge difficulty was immediately encountered in the process of implementation!

That is, Flowerhorn fish and humans are two completely different species!

The meridians and acupoints in the body of a Flowerhorn fish are completely different from those in humans!

Therefore, the first hurdle that body cultivators face when trying to imitate the cat is to study which meridians and acupoints the Luohan fish mainly uses when performing this skill, and then find similar, substitute meridians and acupoints in the human body to perform it again!

However, the number of meridians and acupoints in the human body is as numerous as the stars, and each different acupoint and meridian represents something different.

This is a huge and dangerous process!

If you accidentally misdirect your mental energy to the wrong acupoints or meridians, you may suffer minor injuries or even develop internal energy deviation!

This is why the Martial God Hall has collected so few human cultivation techniques over the years; the process is just too difficult!

Jiang Henian stretched out his right hand and stroked the cover of the "Body Forging Manual" in his hand, sighing softly: "This basic body forging manual, which is made public to the whole society, can only be cultivated up to the third level of Yi Jin Super Sense, but it is the greatest achievement of the Martial God Hall in recent years!"

"This is the culmination of the hard work of me and dozens of other senior members of the Martial God Hall."

"Its body-forging effect is 20-30% higher than the [Arhat Body Forging] skill!"

"This is something to be happy about, but it's also something to be sad about!"

"Because this was created after several years of time and with the immense manpower, resources, and energy of countless body-refining predecessors!"

Jiang Henian sighed and shook his head. It was really too difficult to transform the skills of the sea race into human cultivation techniques!

Jiang Chen felt deep respect!

He never imagined that this basic body-strengthening manual, which could be bought anywhere on the market, was actually created by so many predecessors who went through countless trials and tribulations.

Jiang Chen then thought of another question: "Principal, I have another question on my mind. Why did Senior Brother Lei's body forging result in a copper skin, Zhao Ziyi's in a silver skin, while mine is gold?"

To be honest, this question had been weighing on Jiang Chen's mind for a long time!

However, he dared not ask anyone casually.

After all, the origin of his "Diamond Body Forging Technique" is unknown; it was provided by a pornographic book.

Jiang Henian looked at Jiang Chen meaningfully: "The so-called copper skin, silver skin, and gold skin all represent a certain level of tempering."

"Level of refinement?"

"Yes, copper skin means your skin has been successfully tempered, but only to about 50%. Silver skin is 75%, and gold skin is 100% tempered!"

"That's why your gold-plated body is stronger than Zhao Ziyi's silver-plated body. Your body tempering is 100%, while his is only 75%. How could he possibly win?"

Why is there such a difference?

"There are two main reasons," Jiang Henian said. "First, the body-refining techniques used by the practitioner are extremely profound. Second, you are a one-in-a-million body-refining genius!"

As Jiang Henian spoke, he rolled up his sleeves. Suddenly, his seemingly ordinary flesh-colored skin turned golden yellow and shimmered with golden light!

Jiang Henian proudly stated, "Back in the day I was practicing body refinement, the methods used were extremely crude. There wasn't even a basic 'Body Forging Technique' manual, yet I still managed to cultivate a golden body!"

Jiang Chen stared at the principal in surprise.

Holy crap, you can achieve a golden body with such a simple technique?

You're amazing, old man!

Through Jiang Henian's explanation, Jiang Chen also understood why some sea beast skills could be transformed into human cultivation techniques, while others could not.

It turns out that in addition to requiring the same attribute, race, and organs/tissues, the sea beast whose skills are extracted must also have the meridians and acupoints that Jiang Chen's body uses, or have other meridians and acupoints that can replace them, otherwise the conversion cannot be performed!

That makes perfect sense!

In addition, some sea creature skills can be transformed into human cultivation techniques, which require reaching a certain level before they can be practiced.

For example, the "Shura Slash" skill that Jiang Henian had previously chosen for him came from the Azure Water Shura Sea Beast.

This is a high-level skill; Azure Water Asura must be at least a level 5 sea beast to use it.

Therefore, those who cultivate their bodies also need to temper their bodies to at least the fifth level of Silver Bones before they can use this technique.

This is a level restriction; it can only be used when one's cultivation level reaches a certain point.

After listening to Jiang Henian's explanation, Jiang Chen let out a long breath. He finally understood the key to transforming sea race skills into human cultivation techniques. He never expected there to be so many intricacies involved.

"Oh, right," Jiang Henian said, opening his storage shell and taking out a small notebook, which he tossed to Jiang Chen. "This is the technique for 'Star Slash.' Here you go."

"Yan Chao has gone out to do a mission, but his cultivation manual is at home, so I asked his wife to get it for me first. We'll talk about the baby Seven-Star Knife Fish when he gets back."

"Great!" Jiang Chen accepted the Star Slash skill as if it were a priceless treasure, his face beaming with joy!

As expected of the principal, he obtained the Seven Star Knife Fish's technique so smoothly, without any setbacks!

Jiang Chen quickly opened the cultivation manual and read it carefully.

The Seven-Star Knife Fish has many skills, but according to Yan Chao's research, only this one ultimate move of the Seven-Star Knife Fish is currently suitable for humans to cultivate.

That's right, Star Slash is the Seven-Star Knife Fish's ultimate skill.

This skill has only one move: the Seven Star Knife Fish mobilizes all its spiritual power and gathers it all on the blade. After a period of charging, it immediately transforms into a star streak and slashes out through the air!

The longer you charge up, the stronger and faster this skill becomes!

The reason it's a rankless skill is that the more Big Dipper stars are lit up on the Seven-Star Knife Fish, the greater the power it can gather!

It is said that when the Seven Star Knife Fish uses the power of the Seven Stars, the Star Slash becomes the Seven Star Slash, and its speed is just like teleportation!

Before anyone could even see the knife marks, the enemy was sliced ​​in two—it was truly outrageous!

As Jiang Henian spoke, he went to the armory next to him, took out a wooden sword, and threw it to Jiang Chen: "Since you're here, I'll demonstrate this technique for you a few times first, and you can practice it carefully when you get back."

"Okay!" Jiang Chen quickly took the wooden knife from Jiang Henian, his face full of excitement.

The effect of receiving guidance from Jiang Henian is naturally quite different from figuring it out on your own!

"Remember, this Star Slash technique, no matter how much power you need to accumulate in the future, has one key point."

That is: focus on one point and reach the pinnacle!

"Keep your mind calm, your eyes sharp, and your strength focused, focused, and focused again!"

"Still as a virgin, swift as a rabbit; discard all unnecessary movements, concentrate all power on the blade, and then, unleash a single strike!"

"boom!"

As Jiang Henian spoke, his entire demeanor changed, becoming like a silent statue!

Suddenly, in the next second, he moved with lightning speed, his right foot shattering the floor, and he flew out in a slash!

"boom!!!"

As if teleporting, he instantly covered a distance of more than ten meters and rushed to the other side of the Martial God Hall. His aura surged, his clothes fluttered, and he slashed out with his wooden sword!

Even though he didn't use any spiritual power, relying solely on the strength of his physical body, a storm of sword energy swept out the moment the wooden sword struck, and a column of water exploded on the surface of the water!

What the hell!

Jiang Chen was taken aback, his eyes widening in surprise. Was this his principal, his master?

Loved it!

This person didn't use any spiritual power or contract with the Seven-Star Knife Fish; they simply relied on the wooden knife and their own physical strength to unleash such momentum and power. How impressive!

"Give it a try," Jiang Henian said.

"yes!"

Jiang Chen walked to the spot where Jiang Henian had just been, held the knife in both hands, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath, imitating Jiang Henian's expression, movements, and the direction of his muscles.

At that moment, the wind seemed to stop.

In an imperceptible moment, Jiang Chen suddenly opened his eyes and rushed out!

A shallow crater appeared in the bamboo floorboards. Jiang Chen moved like a fleeting moment, or like a startled swan!

All the power seemed to flow through his arm and into the wooden sword, then surged outwards along the sword!

Jiang Chen's agile figure was like an angry tiger. He instantly rushed to the end of the Martial God Hall and slashed the water with his wooden sword!

"boom!!!"

A jet of water shot skyward!

What the hell!

Holy crap!

This time, Jiang Henian was stunned!

He originally thought that the technique Jiang Chen used to cultivate the Golden Body was given to him by Jian Qingqiu, but now he's afraid it wasn't!

He learned Star Slash after just one glance? Holy crap...

This kid is actually an unparalleled genius in body cultivation!
